Do you like steel or aluminum cased ammo?
11 years ago
Ok, many cheap or surplus ammos are steel or aluminum cased.
These aren't meant to be reloaded, just fired.
They are pretty cheap compared to brass cased ammo, but some people find issue with these ammos.
They seem to work better in "cheaper" guns with looser chamber tolerances.
I personally haven't found issue with steel 7.62x39 or aluminum .357 (actually found more issue with lacquered cases, steel or brass).
Do you have any issues with this ammo, or do you happily feed your guns with it for cheap?

The aluminum case ammo is great for revolvers if I'm feeling cheap or that's all I can find. I have had issues with it in some autos though.
I haven't tried the polymer coated stuff yet, but it eats brass like M&M's All Day Long.
my Colt .45 HATES anything that isn't brass or nickle brass.
I haven't fired my .44mag yet (was raining last time I was home) and I haven't seen steel cased .357 yet either.
*shrugs* if I had a mini-14 I'd get F-tons of russian steelcased crap, because I've been told it'd eat them like popcorn.
That being said, I have quite a bit of steel cased ammo. I don't buy aluminum cased stuff if I can help it.
